• Diameter of 12,5 cm: Compact and lightweight, especially designed for small breeds such as cats, miniature dogs or puppies.

• Breathable and washable: The material allows air circulation and can be cleaned with a damp cloth, maintaining hygiene throughout the treatment.

How to use

Place the collar around your pet's neck, adjusting the clasp so it fits snugly but not too tightly. Ensure the collar's edge extends far enough to prevent your pet from reaching the treated area. It is recommended to wear the collar throughout the recovery period or for the duration of the skin treatment, removing it only under supervision for eating or drinking if necessary. Refer to the product leaflet for detailed fitting and safety instructions.

FAQ

How do I know if the 12,5 cm size is suitable for my pet?

Measure the circumference of your dog or cat's neck. The collar should be large enough to stay in place but not too tight. For breeds like domestic cats, dogs up to 5 kg, or puppies, this size is usually ideal. If your pet is larger, consider a larger diameter.

Can my pet eat and drink with the collar on?

Yes, the flexible design allows the animal to access its food and water bowls fairly easily. However, supervise it the first few times to make sure it doesn't have any difficulties. If you notice it becoming stressed, you can briefly remove the bowl during mealtimes under your supervision.

How long should the collar be worn?

The duration of use depends on your veterinarian's recommendation. Generally, it's used until the wound or affected area is completely healed, which can range from a few days to several weeks. Follow your veterinarian's instructions to avoid complications.

Can the collar be washed if it gets dirty?

Yes, the soft flex material is washable. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry before reusing. Avoid soaking it in water for extended periods to maintain its shape and durability.

Is it safe for cats or very restless dogs?

The collar is designed to be safe and durable. However, if your pet is very active, supervise them to ensure they don't try to remove it by rubbing against furniture. The adjustable closure helps keep it in place, but never leave them unattended if you notice signs of extreme discomfort.

How long does each unit in the 5-pack last?

Each collar has a lifespan that depends on use and care. Under normal conditions, it can last for several treatments if properly cleaned. The 5-pack allows you to have spares or use them on different pets without having to buy a new one each time.
